Groupthink keeps track of what you promised
Danielle Morrill
You get off a call having agreed to three things. You write down one of them. A week later the other person emails about the other two.
Groupthink pulls the commitments out of your conversations and puts them in one list. Not buried in a summary, not sitting in a transcript you would have to reread. The promises themselves, with who owes what to whom.
They live in two places. At the bottom of every recap there is an Action items block holding what came out of that one conversation. In the sidebar, My action items gathers everything you owe across every meeting you have had, grouped by when it is due, or by project, or by the person involved.
The pass is meant to take about a minute. You finish a call and open the recap. Anything stated plainly is already sitting there. Anything phrased softly shows up as a suggestion, and you accept or dismiss it with one tap. If Groupthink could not tell who owed something, it marks the item Unassigned and asks you, instead of guessing or quietly handing it to whoever happened to be recording.
Then you send each one where your work actually lives. Route it into a GitHub issue, a Linear ticket, or hand it to your AI assistant to go and do. Every issue Groupthink opens carries a link back to the conversation it came from, so when someone opens that ticket six weeks later and asks why it exists, the answer is one click away.
The suggestions are worth explaining, because they are new. Most of what people promise each other does not sound like a task. It sounds like “if you want me to set that up, just let me know,” and then, a turn later, “yeah, I’d love that.” Nobody says the words action item, but a promise got made and both people walk away expecting it to happen. Groupthink used to require the flat version and stayed silent about everything else. On one of my own calls that produced an empty list when there had been six real commitments in the conversation, four of them mine. The softer ones now come through as suggestions, so you are the one deciding, not the model.
If you have been using Groupthink for a while, My action items has a button that reaches back through your last 30 days and extracts what it finds. It runs once in the background and fills the list with promises you already made.
